Oh, you're quite right.
It appears that batcher does not deal with path names. The -S flag
should no longer exist!
See revision 2444 (October 1999):
http://inn.eyrie.org/trac/changeset/2444/trunk
Strange that such a feature disappeared in archive, batcher and cvtbatch...
It does not seem to be an error since the warning "not token" was clearly
added!
Yet, there is dead code like:
/* Go to where the articles are. */
if (chdir(innconf->patharticles) < 0)
sysdie("%s cannot chdir to %s", Host, innconf->patharticles);
/* Strip of leading spool pathname. */
if (line[0] == '/'
&& line[strlen(innconf->patharticles)] == '/'
&& strncmp(line, innconf->patharticles, strlen(innconf->patharticles)) == 0)
p = line + strlen(innconf->patharticles) + 1;
else
p = line;
Weird...

I see that innxmit can still handle both of them (though the documentation
only mentions tokens!).
/*
** Open an article. If the argument is a token, retrieve the article via
** the storage API. Otherwise, open the file and fake up an ARTHANDLE for
** it. Only fill in those fields that we'll need. Articles not retrieved
** via the storage API will have a type of TOKEN_EMPTY.
*/
static ARTHANDLE *
article_open(const char *path, const char *id)
{
[...]
You can also look at a previous version of innxmit in case you want to
backport the code, if it still works.
